Here's a look at the Samsung Galaxy Buds in black

Samsung has been known to pair its flagship phones with premium headphones. But instead of working with a third-party brand, Samsung will be including its own Galaxy Buds with the Galaxy S10. These wireless earbuds are considered the next iteration of the Gear IconX. Unfortunately, these seem to be packing less power than the Gear IconX. It'll just have 58mAh for the buds and 252mAh for the case (the Gear IconX has the 82mAh and 340mAh, respectively). 

However, the Galaxy Buds support wireless charging via the Galaxy S10. This pair of earbuds can also play music even without a phone. It has double the offline storage of the IconX at 8GB, which can store around 2,000 songs. It also supports Bluetooth 5.0 instead of 4.2. And it has a sweat-resistance rating of IPX2. The Galaxy Buds are expected to launch alongside the Galaxy S10 Series. In some countries, it'll even be bundled with the phone. If you want to buy it on its own, these are expected to be available for purchase separately around the same time the Galaxy S10 comes out.

Learn a language better with Netflix and this Chrome extension

One of the best ways to learn a new language is to immerse yourself in it. And no, that doesn't mean you have to travel there immediately (of course, that would be nice).

Language Learning with Netflix lets you watch shows with two subtitles on, allowing you to pair the translations with dialogue to help you pick up new words and the like. It supports the major languages on the service that already offer subtitles (including Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish).

A new report from Strategy Analytics states that Google's Pixel line of smartphones is the fastest growing smartphone brand in the US with a 43 per cent growth year-over-year. Often considered the underdog brand way behind Apple's iPhone and Samsung's dominant Galaxy line of devices, Google Pixel has gained a reputation for its clean operating system, simple yet elegant design and for it's impressive photography capabilities despite having only one rear camera.

While this report seems like a nice feather on Google's cap. It becomes more meaningful when considering that the entire smartphone market is struggling. Global smartphone sales have dived by 23 per cent in the past year. Both Apple and Samsung have been forced to adjust earning's expectations after missing their sales targets in Q1.
